- This is an HD small game hunting video. This is a video of me shooting grouse and rabbits in central Wisconsin in 2016. My GoPro battery died half way through my hunt so I did the best I could with my camera phone after that.

First dogless grouse hunt I've seen on RUclips. And excellent video. I hunted grouse for four years in Central NY but I didn't bag a single one. Flushes were rare (generally one per day, and I covered a lot of land. Our state forests have much denser brush and trees than you show here. Birds were gone in 1/4 second. Only bird I managed to drop fell in the middle of an acre sized patch of chest high thorns. I tried to get to him, but got torn up something fierce.
You hunted grouse for four years and never bagged one?! Holy cow….you have patience my friend.
Young man it does my heart good to see some young adults out hunting as well as trapping and fishing. My Dad moved us out of town and into the farm country. I started hunting, trapping and fishing on my own at age thirteen and I would do it all over again and never change a thing. I'm 66 and I still hunt and fish and would trap if I had the place to do so. Keep hunting, trapping and fishing and you'll live a fulfilled life.
From one hunter to another: Great job!!! I share the same sentiments about hunting as you do. I've passed it on to my son and now working on my 7 year old grandson. Thanks for all the effort you put into making this video for us to enjoy. Cheers from Dixie!
Thanks for the awesome comment and good luck this fall, it's getting to be that time of year again.
Great video! Thanks for taking us with you .
Never had that kind of luck in CT. Grouse are sparse now and I'm too old to beat the bush. Congratulations! Years ago I hunted ducks and pheasants along the Rock River around Ashputin (un-incorporated, 1972,1973). Wisconsin had it all over CT.
Awesome shot footage on the rabbits and what a day afield you had for grouse! Watching RUclips videos getting psyched for opening day and this definitely pumped me up.
One of the best videos I have seen on small game hunting, even if the GoPro failed, and you didn't get any birds on the wing. Thank you for the experience.
I wish I could hunt where you do. I started hunting 5 years ago, in Central NY State, and have yet to get a single bird. I NEVER find any rabbits. They don't seen to exist here. Like you, I am hunting without a dog. I don't know anyone who will let me hunt on their land, so I hunt state forests. It is RARE when I see a bird, and then for only 2/10 of a second, max. More often I hear them take off, and never spot them. I'm very quiet, but they generally flush 40 to 50 yards in front of me. They are always within 5 to 10 feet of DENSE DARK WOODS or BRUSH, and they are in it before I can raise my gun. By dense I mean it makes the area you hunted in your video, look like the wide open plains.
My efforts aren't helped by the fact that I have bad health problems. In fact, I am wondering if this will be my last season. Sure would like to get a bird before I go.
Loved watching this. I guess I need to get off the track and start bushwhacking... Clearly the best way to go. Thanks!
Did anyone notice at the beginning the antlers looked like they were on his head
Nice video of the mixed bag! Try to pick up those empty hulls, whenever you can.
Yes ... Hunting, trapping and fishing since my childhood. From NY!
nice shot! and I support your hunting opinion!
Very nice video , the color phases of those grouse are beautiful, good shooting also!
Very cool greetings from Indonesia my brother
Always entertaining. Can't wait to meet you and do some fishing. Hopefully this spring.
Dude, so awesome. I decided to pick up hunting this year and your video has got me very excited for when I go small game hunting in the weeks to come
I’m about to start small game hunting myself, 3 years later since your comment…how has it been for you?
@@greeneyesfromohio4103
I had a little bit of difficulty finding time to go when I lived in the Portland (OR) Metro area. This last year, however, I moved to Alaska and I went hunting at least twice a week this fall. Got tons of grouse, a few ducks, and a moose. No rabbits yet though.
@@chrisvanek7877 - hell ya man, that’s awesome….Alaska is one of the best places to life if your a hunter! I can’t decide if I want a 12 gauge or 20. It’ll be just for weekend fun shooting clays, rabbit hunting and home protection. Nothing fancy, just a simple pump action. I feel 12 might be overkill for rabbits but I know you can get pretty light loads.
great video man I love the great outdoors
this is my new favorite channel so glad I found it I love hunting
your comments about cleans kill makes you a true outdoors man and true hunter keep it up man
I know it is hard to remember in the moment, but remember to try and pick up your empty shells.
No, I leave them behind on purpose to look back on through the years. I have fence posts I stand by and shoot deer from every year covered in casings.
Did anyone notice the snow in the barrel after the first one?
That was a great hunting area. Can't say I've had a day like that. I'm usually lucky to get 2 or 3 grouse and don't see any rabbits. Love small game hunting though. Charge those batteries you got some great footage anyway.
Please come back and make more hunting videos yours are some of the best
Beautifully done!!
Im a big time hunter and believe in passing it on. I just gotta say fix your camera so it dont look like antlers on your head. Wish grouse and rabbits were that easy here around Cumberland ky.
wow the tail on the grouse #4 is beuatifuly colored
Soul Taker i
Awesome hunt and video. Can't wait to get back after it in the Great PA Wild. Happy Hunting
Love the vids bro...just pick up the empty shells man don't need to litter up your hunting area
Yeah I love hunting I started when I was 4. My dad and my brother and I used to dove hunting in Texas. Nice btw
It was a very nice hunt, congratulations👍
Never hunted the Petenwell area but get some nice wallys on the flowage there some years ago. By me (Minocqua area), we get out for Snowshoes and Grouse.
Awesome footage! Can't tell but are you using a 12 gauge? If so, what chokes have you found the most success with? Or is it more of just personal preference?
Neil Stallings he is using a 20ga, not sure what choke
I appreciate you respecting the critters. I’ve heard ptarmigan and grouse are good eats.
Hey buddy, great video! You managed to capture some good footage! You must be using a GoPro? I devote many of my videos on RUclips to capturing hunting footage as well. Keep the videos coming! I subscribed ;)
Cheers,
Huntingpros
Congrats on the excellent hunt.
I liked and subscribed. Think I'm the 2,000th sub ya got man!!!! That's kinda cool.
Victor L. Fazio III
That's real cool, thank you. Go Packers!
He makes me so much more into hunting than I have been
I hunt deer and small game
What shot shell worked well for both grouse and rabbit? Guessing #7.5 ?
I like #6
What do you do about ticks? Permitheran?
I am jealous, I wish I could film my hunts like this with a go pro. any how great footage, love harvesting grouse and rabbits
Enjoyed your hunt.
i do the same thing, hunt all day for small game just to get a burger on the way home hahahah great video !
this guy is awesome im 13 and starting to hunt
me too!
do you still hunt?
I love your commentary after the first grouse. Do you wear your go pro on your head or chest? It looks like chest.
Head. I recommend wearing it on the head so that it captures everything you see. gun mounts and chest mounts miss some action.
petenrock That I agree with. And I have done all three but I am bad about being conscious about the camera. I forget its there when I am doing things so when ever its on my head I am looking all over the place and theres ALOT of movement in the footage. Thats my problem though, I just need to be more aware haha. I am posting a video tonight of a pigeon hunt that I did and if you get a chance to watch it you will see that I had the camera on my barrel and I forgot to keep it pointed at the birds while they fall because a few of them I shot and right away brought the gun across my chest haha
+A True Wisconsinite I'll check out that video and yeah the head movement is tough and even if your conscious of the camera it's still bothersome in the videos. Just the time spent trying to capture footage costs us game and fish when we're messing around with cameras. A lot of times I just leave the cameras home but then I miss good footage and regret it. Or worse yet, I'm wearing the camera and haven't turned it on. I accidentally snuck right up on a black bear this last fall and didn't have the camera on.
petenrock Tell me about it! I haven't used my GoPro for a couple of months because it can be such a pain to mess with when you are already trying to make sure you have everything else you need before your go into the woods. I could of swore that you had it on your chest because your footage is nice and still! So good on you.
Well done, my hat off to you bud
I’m 11 and started hunting when I was 6 And I’m not nearly as good and quick as u and that’s why my dad gets me out as much as possible so I can get better.
You will only get faster and better
Idle hands to make bad decisions.how about instead they have skills that involve self reliance. Good video im a gardener and scraper wood collector.i now want to hunt small game
That's a awesome solo day man!!!!
Crock pot is best way to cook grouse.
I was pleased to watch, keep it up.
Great Shooting. Really nice shots!
Hey where can I find a game bag? I've been looking. But can't find what I'm looking for.
Check out Filson online. They are spendy but it should last
How do you know what areas to bushwhack in? I usually drive/walk trails sometimes get lucky and run into families of partridge or singles but never had much luck bushwhacking for them
how long were you walking around?
great shooting,nothing like a grouse fry up
Good job! You should do a "Field" to "Fork" to show us how you cook grouse. Never been lucky enough to see one during season. Is that State Land your hunting?
Loved the video. That's some great small game hunting !
The only thing that bothered me... man, pick up your spent shells !
Marc Seguin Those spent shells aren't hurting anything and I like to see them year after year as they pile up.
I also like to pick up my shells because they are plastic and crap but i also enjoy finding shells in the woods because something happened there thats gonna possibly be a lifelong memory for somebody...espically slug shells...
Hey great videos, just wondering what brand/type your game bag is. Thanks
Good going man !! Keep it up
Excellent video.
Hey which shotgun are you using ?
great video
what kind of shotgun shells do you use? want to start hunting rabbit and chickens but not sure what kind of shells to use
if your just looking to start, get yourself a maverick 88 12 gauge. for field use such as grouse, use a 2&3/4 inch with a #6 #7 or #8 size shot.
+Avie Erdile thanks!, i just bought a Mossberg 535 ATS pump action 12 guage 3 1/2" and i found some shells nobody was using at a family members house, #4 shot, would this shot be good for rabbit and chicken
4 shot will work, however I've always found it leaves too large a hole unless you're a Crack shot and only hit the head.
+Avie Erdile Thanks for the help.
Kyle Vandale 3 shot 3 inch magnam for 20 gauge
great job. I am going hunting for the first time this sat. Nov. 12th 2016.
See anything? Enjoy it?
TheHerb no nothing. it was still fun
is a 12 or 20 gauge to much should I pay for them or would they still be edible and you won't have to pick out too much lead and what if there's some gut punctured
I've used 20 and 12 gauge for grouse and rabbits, if your close it's important to make head shots but as long as you aim well shouldn't be an issue, if you hit something in the gut cleaning it sooner rather than later so no guts will be soaking into any meat would be good. He's using a 20 in this video and doesn't appear to blast any of the game too bad
Love your videos
Dude, going up this weekend for grouse and rabbit! Price co
James Falstad
I hope you hammer them. I was out two days ago and had a hell of a great day. Once I edit the video it will be called SMALL GAME RAMPAGE 2016.
I grew up hunting grouse and rabbit in Park falls back in the 70s
nice vid. your a good shot
does anyone know what he does with the animals? i want to get into hunting but i wouldnt know what to do once i killed it. Do you eat it? or make it a taxidermy?
chances are he its it and also taxidermy is very hard to learn and is expensive if you pay for it
Brandi Peterson he most likely eats them. Rabbits and grouse are very tasty. Once you kill the grouse lay the grouse one the ground with the breast facing up. Spread the wings open and Step on the wings close to the breast and then slowly and steadily pull the legs and the grouse will come right apart. Then cook it up and eat it :) for a rabbit pinch the fur on the back and make a cut. Put your fingers in the hole and pull in opposite directions and the fur will come right off easily. Cut the head and feet off. Now open up the rabbit and remove the guts and organs inspect the liver to make sure it is not spotty. Sometimes rabbits will have a disease and you can tell if their liver is full of white spots. If it is spotty do not eat the rabbit. If no spots then go ahead and cook it up :)
great video ! thanks for sharing
How did you get those antlers to stick to your hat ? Keep on Hunting!....join the NRA!....Democrats are in an all out War on Guns, Hunting, and White Guys.
I am Russian American and hunt with my Mexican friends, White Guys and Mung or Asians and we are Democrats with Guns. Politics have nothing to do with hunting. Most of my friends hunt and are Democrats - Minnesota is a very liberal state. Keep politics away from hunting and guns. That is the problem when you think your a victim. You sound like the Jews and anti-semitism. No one will take your guns away especially in the midwest hunting states where the state needs the money. They need to take guns away if your a gangster in the cities . Most mass killings are from crazy white guys with AR's who have idiot victim families who don't know how to lock up their guns. Be smart and take politics away from gun sports. Grow up and stop acting like victim and fight for 2nd rights
Fuck demacrats
I wish I could go hunting every weekend, but I don't have any land to go to and the Public stuff sucks around here. I also would like some hunter friends.
Did you take down your video on hunting squirrels with a 17hmr?
RUclips took it down because someone cried about it
Great vid. Thanks.
Awesome vid man., Some good hunting over there., was worried when you dugg your barel in snow then shot a rabbit., lol good shooting bro
Great hunt bro....best luck
I love hunting
That second rabbit was a snipe!
Also pick up ur shells dude
great hunting sir!
What province or state is this in?
Great shooting by the way!
dude you are awesome! go packers!
3 years later mid pandemic and I still agree with u
Nice work
Hey bud what gauge are you using ?
Tarvarious Haywood, by the yellow cartridges I would say 20 gau. It's also what I use for small game hunting.
Do you ever have problems with flees on rabbits in the winter
Early in the season especially
@@petenrock thank you what temp would you say you don't see many at
@@marcusbabcock458
I guess I never really paid attention but probably below freezing. I have put a bunny in my game bag on multiple occasions early in the season which resulted in a game at full of fleas. You can get those big ziplock storage bags and seal the rabbits in that before carrying them on you while you hunt and that contains the fleas. Some of those bunnies are totally infested.
What GoPro do you use?
The Hero 3+
what gauge gun is that?
Nice channel and vid! I subbed
Great video....I would like to see your hunting video through a shotkam!
Where did you hunt at?
Love hunting birds. I’ve shot a couple rabbit but I don’t enjoy it for some reason. Maybe because they are cute lol
If you made more go pro POV hunting small game. You'd get a lot more views
What choke you using through that?
for what hes doing modified is great
I use modified for rabbit and upland bird as well as Waterfowl
GiGaGaming I hunt pheasant with a full choke 20 gauge. and a mod. choke for others perferably
No.4 will take care of the bird without having to wring the neck.
Gunna get him in the game bag lol.
Awsome!!!
Ptarmigan hunting but only at the mountain
I'm also in central wisconsin, very near you. would love to hunt with you and learn somethings.
.22 rifle scoped head shots...no mess...no waste.
Judging by ur name r u around petenwell/castlerock?
CHASE 26Gen4
Yup.
petenrock. Nice. We have a place in big flats. Is this all public ur hunting? I grouse hunt but getting a couple flushes in 2 hours is a good day. R u hunting private? Theres tons of paperland but its all pines
CHASE 26Gen4
Yeah, I hunt public and private. I grew up on the opposite side of Petenwell so I can get on a lot of private ground from people I know.
